Cool Kids Club Podcast Episode 48 - Bubblegum Crisis OVA Review Week #4 (Part A)

Our Final WEEK!!!! This is the big one, the grand finale in our Bubblegum Crisis review month. We also went ahead and split this up into 2 episodes as well since it was a rather long recording. We talk about the OVA "Double Vision," which has Genom land, revenge fueled pop singers, engrish texan signs, spider tanks, and horny old men. I also fill the end with some music, go fig. We also talk about things like Texas, the St. Patricks Day tradition, songs from the 90's and Street Fighter quotes along with bad audio and poppy hold music. Join the gang with One Pixel Jump, Amanda and (SUPER SECRET SPECIAL GUEST PODCAST GRANDMASTA) Sean Ryan from the Alpha Counter/Method to Madness Podcast. All this and more in this weeks episode.

QUICK EDIT!!!!: I forgot to mention this is our one year anniversary podcast since we first started this. I wasn't there when the first 3 or so episodes were out but I made my mark on episode 4. So glad I remembered this.

This is our second part to our week 3 review of Bubblegum Crisis. We cover the Red Eyes OVA with lasers from space, Nene using a gun, Leon using a gun better, Boomer supremacy, Priss getting knocked around, picking on Nene some more, and using lasers some more to blow stuff up. We also talk about more Kawajiri, Doomed Megalopolis and (secret bonus) content after the review. I also throw in some music at the end to fill time, with an Leon image song called "Lonely Soldier", the ending to Moonlight Rambler and the best dubbing anime song ever!!!!

Cool Kids Club Podcast Episode 45 - Bubblegum Crisis Review #2

Welcome once again to this weeks adventure through the Mega Tokyo slums, filled with the corpses of fallen ADP officers and outrider bike gangs as this week we take on the 3rd and 4th Bubblegum Crisis OVA's "Blow Up" and "Revenge Road". This has AD Police helicopters (getting es'ploded), ricing up your super car for revenge on the interstate, no protection paintballing, getting evicted by the corporations, and bad internet connection skype problems. I was ...maybe (if THAT) in this episode about half the time, while the other half was me getting a sledgehammer threatening to trash my internet modem, as I had internet problems this episode. Luckly, I have One Pixel Jump, Amanda and the crew to keep this review going as the "Battle of the Internet" raged on in my apartment, but it wasn't without me hearing some snide remarks from the crew in my absence when I went to edit this episode. But I gotta say, thank you guys!!!! All this and more in this weeks episode, enjoy!

Cool Kids Club Podcast Episode 44 - Bubblegum Crisis Review #1

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUBBLEGUM CRISIS!!!!

Welcome back! Today marks the 25th Anniversary of the classic cyberpunk anime classic, Bubblegum Crisis! We at the podcast decided to dedicate a whole month to Bubblegum Crisis, with stories of fandom, fanfiction, "by ear" stories heard at cons over the years, and for us to pick on the anime a bit (regarding the AD Police and Mackie of course). We start out on how we came to watch and love this beloved OVA series and what made us the fans we are today, then we go into tangents of the anime and just have fun with it, since the OVA series is a lot of fun regardless. We talk about the first 2 OVA's, Tinsel City and Born to Kill. We are joined by Jeff of Anime Graruru, One Pixel Jump and "all around" BGC fangirl herself, Amanda Stair (Duran). Hope you enjoy, and more to come

This show has:

Kinuko Oomori... the Japanese Pop Rock Goddess... of Rock!!!!

My personal ramblings: (When I came to this podcast, this was really the number one thing I wanted to talk about and discuss more than anything, but I wanted to do it right with the right people involved. Now, this is the perfect time to talk about this anime with whatever experience I have picked up being a podcaster in the past 40 some episodes I have been with the show. My greatest wish on this is to do this OVA justice and pay its dues to the anime community.)

Evidence #3: Scramble Wars Soundtrack: Special stuff by Special Guest!!!!

Hello again internet world!!!!


Remember a while back I stated I was gonna introduce someone and their stuff on here and had something of a build up to that. Well, this is kinda that post, sorta. I've been kinda waiting on one thing from her for a while and I'm not sure when shes gonna get done with that, but she did give me some other cool stuff that I will post over time. So this is a little shall you say "chips and salsa" to go with your full course hispanic dinner entree of anime goodness. And yes, I did just compare spanish food with anime, deal with it.

But what will I post today you ask? (as if my title has nothing to say about it) Glad you said that too yourself, because I can't hear you from where I am at. So what I wanna share is the Scramble Wars OST. I don't have alot of information with it other than some pics and some tracks I can post up for you the listeners. So here is the image of the cover:

 

From what I can tell its the Scramble Wars Doki Doki Paradise soundtrack. These tracks include artist such as Naoko Matsui, Michie Tomizawa, Chieko Honda and many more (that have not been uploaded so far). Here is the youtube track listing thus far:

Naoko Matsui - Still
Michie Tomizawa - What do you wanna do
Chieko Honda - Dream Nisei-gou ni Notte

So yea, this is my update on more stuff to cover whats to come...with more stuff.

So who is this person I'm talking about? Well, I'd like to introduce you to Amanda Stair Duran, Bubblegum Crisis Fan-fic writer and mega fan to boot!! When I came across Alt.Fan.BGCrisis back in 2009 or so, I meet some really cool fans from this usenet/google groups discussion place and came across Amanda, which is someone I find very special not only as a fan but as a person too. She's been a BGC fan since mid 1990's or so from getting into anime from her brother and her friends which led her to BGC. She also started to dive into fanfiction towards the late 90's by doing her stories of not only the Knight Sabers, but Priss's daughter, Yumeko. What I also found out about her is she is a Columbine High Massacre survivor and witnessed the events first hand. I have noticed she has put her personal feelings from that event into her writing and the personal events that took place after that. I am really glad that she did survive and got past the events that followed, otherwise I would have never got to know her as a fan and I wouldn't be doing this intro about her and posting her stuff up for the world to see (not to sound like a jerk, but her stuff is pretty sweet : ) ). So, that is my personal intro to our special guest on this blog in short.


Here is her main fanfiction website with information to all of her writing material: The Adventures of Yumeko Asagiri!!

She also does a forum with other fans from Alt.Fan.BGCrisis and some new people as well: Girls of Genaros

Well, I think that about covers it for this segment. Comments are down below, cookies are still fresh on the table and plenty to go around. So I depart now saying, Never say Die, Iron Otaku!!!

UPDATE (4/24/2018): Seeing how in the past year on the comments i've had two people mention they wanted this album, I finally got all the songs from Amanda and put them on a Mega link for you guys to listen too. Also late RIP shout outs too Chieko Honda and Hiromi Tsuru since they both passed away since this blog post was first written, so a bit of history there when listening to their voices in the early days, darn good sounding ones as well.
